How To Get Your RSS Feed Readers To Actually Come To Your Site

To get people to come back to your blog after they sign up for your RSS feed, all you really have to do is write good blog posts and articles or create interesting videos (in other words, create good content) and link to your past posts within your new posts. Your readers will click the links in your feeds (if they have interesting anchor text), and will come to your site where you are selling your products or have some form of better monetization than google feedburner adsense ads.

Linking to your past articles in your post is also good for deep linking . Use anchor text that is related to the article you are linking to to help with your search engine optimization.

Not only that, but linking to your previous posts in your new posts is a good way to turn nuisance webmasters who scrape content and repost it to their sites to try to rank in the search engines into a good thing, because when visitors read your content that’s posted to the scraper sites, the visitors will click the links within the scaped content that lead back to your site so you will get the traffic, and a free backlink link to your site. Most content scrapers scrape content on a mass scale and upload it to a network of scraper seo websites, and the webmasters don’t have time to remove the links in the posts that go back to the creators site, so this technique works pretty well to turn a bad thing into a good thing.

It also helps to update your blog every day or every other day, so your subscribers will be used to seeing your high quality posts in their RSS reader, and be eagerly waiting for new ones to read.

Harrison,

Writing quality content helps, :) The problem is, no one can make you write remarkable content, we can show folks what “great content” looks like. All the writing tips and suggestions only take others so far. You’re right, sharing links to your other posts, tends to keep readers around a bit longer. Unless of course, there’s simply no interests that other material.

Best,
